Happy New Year once again,
Following the forum branch name, I'll start with kind of suggestion. Don't you have (I believe you don't) or don't you want to (search for and) recruit a... Database Master? You know, a guy who may be not a programmer, but who'd do that... manual (and boring maybe), but necessary job with the spawnpoints, waypoints, timers, mobs HP & damage etc..? After all, developers don't work as testers - then why should they work on things that doesn't require programming skills? Differentiation of labour, you know I'm sure that a Database Master is much easier to find than a true Developer.
Also I'd like to ask: how many hours \coded it usually takes to script an escort quest? An epic quest chain (like my favorite Darrowshire one)? To script a dungeon boss from a scratch? A raid boss?
The last question caused not only by curiosity. Some time ago a guy on ED told me that Feenix is good for him because they already have Naxx (almost) scripted. He said that it'd take years to script Naxx. I believe that only lazy Feenix devs may script a single raid for years, but it'd be good to know your professional estimate on such a things.
The questions are mostly addressed to the Kronos team members, but everyone is free to discuss of course
